Former New York Ranger Sean Avery, who has a rocky history with current Rangers coach John Tortorella, aired his greivances with the Rangers boss on Twitter just after New York was shut out by Montreal in the Bell Centre.

Around five minutes after the final horn, Avery ripped Tortorella.

"Fire this CLOWN, his players hate him and wont play for his BS.... @imseanavery is #winning," Avery wrote.

Avery also retweeted fans who wished Avery was still playing for the Rangers during the game.

The Rangers are currently clinging to the 8th seed in the East with 35 points, just ahead of the New York Islanders and the Carolina Hurricanes. They've been shut out in their last two games.
